    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http;

    // If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
    // Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
    http.put_Login("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME");
    http.put_Password("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD");
    http.put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN");
    http.put_NtlmAuth(true);

    // The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
    // If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
    // establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

    // This example will check in the file named "penguins2.jpg" 
    // which is located in the "/Documents" folder.

    CkHttpRequest req;
    req.put_HttpVerb("POST");
    // Note that our path uses GetFileByServerRelativeUrl and not GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl
    // Also, if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, the URL is formatted like this (where "teamA" is the name of the site)
    // /sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Documents/penguins2.jpg')/CheckIn(comment='Comment',checkintype=0)

    // We need to add a form digest value in the X-RequestDigest header field.
    // See this example for details on
    // how to get (and cache) a form digest value
    req.AddHeader("X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST");

    // Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
    bool bUseTls = true;

        return;
    }

    // The response body contains XML.
    CkXml xml;
    xml.LoadXml(resp->bodyStr());

    if (resp->get_StatusCode() != 200) {
